Mishnah — Seder Nezikin, Tractate AvotChapter 6…

Each and every day a heavenly echo goes out from Mount Horeb, and announces and says: "Woe to the creatures for disparaging the Torah;" for anyone who does not involve himself in the Torah is called "rebuked," as it is said (Proverbs 11:22) : "A ring of gold in a swine's snout is a beautiful woman who turns from discretion," and it says (Exodus 32:16) : "And the tablets were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tablets," do not read "graven" (harut) but rather "freedom" (herut) , for there is no free man except one that involves himself in Torah learning
